Is your 5th or 6th grader interested in running?
Girls on the Run is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization focused on inspiring girls, encouraging lifelong health, and building confidence through running. The program offers fun and fitness for 5th and 6th grade girls from campuses. Girls who love to run or who just want to try it out are welcome to join this afterschool activity.
Running is used to inspire and motivate girls, encourage lifelong health and fitness, and build confidence through accomplishment. Important social, psychological, and physical skills and abilities are developed and reinforced throughout the program. At each season’s conclusion, the girls and their running buddies complete a 5k running event which gives them a tangible sense of achievement as well as a framework for setting and achieving life goals. The result—making the seemingly impossible, possible, and teaching girls that they can.
